Your Business Card Must:

State Specifically What You Do – Your business card must adequately highlight the type of services you are offering your target clients. You need to make sure you also list your coaching niche/specialty. Consider using a tag line which is a short statement that sums up what you do in a powerful and memorable way.

Have Accurate Contact Information – It is critical that you have all your contact information on your business card, and they must be up to date. List your full name with proper credentials, your phone numbers, email address, web page, blog page (if any) and social media pages like LinkedIn and Facebook. You do not want prospective clients or leads trying to reach you and it says the number is no longer in service or your webpage no longer exists.

Have an Attractive Look – Yes, your business card must appear attractive and appealing to whoever holds your business card. Don’t get carried away with fonts, lettering etc., it’s important your card is not only attractive looking, but legible (readable).

Have a Call to action – This is usually placed on the back of the card. What do you want the person you give your card to do? You can offer them a complimentary (free) gift. Direct them to the link to a website. “Give away a freebie of high value that you can afford to give away to entice the card holder to give you their email address in exchange – so that you can continue to connect with them each time you send out your newsletter. It has to be something that answers a burning need for your prospective client.” states Dr. Leelo Bush, CEO of PCCCA.
